On the way home, they passed Dib and Gaz's house. Dib was looking through the window. He looked at Zim, who put his arm around Isabelle's waist and pulled her closer.

"Ah!" Dib squeaked and ran out. "Zim!"

"I just saw you three hours ago..." Zim said.

"Leave Isabelle alone!"

Isabelle stepped up. "Zim's trying to be good okay!? Dib! He's trying to be good and you just keep putting him down!

Zim raised an eyebrow and smiled from behind her at Dib.
